The Clean Coder : How it changed me

“The Clean Coder” is not a book about the code, it is about the coder. A software developer does not only write code for himself, he writes code to solve problems, to add value to his company. In this book Robert “Uncle Bob” Martin shares his experience on the mistakes he did and how he changed his behavior in order to act as a professional.

I really enjoyed “The Clean Coder” because it made me think of my own behavior. Do I behave as a professional ? What can I improve ? What should I stop doing ?

This software development ideology suits me, it gave me a path to follow. I decided to sign the software craftsmanship manifesto to be committed and to ask more of myself. Being a craftsman is not an easy task, it is an attitude that has to be learnt. It is challenging and that’s fine to me. I like to be challenged, it allows me to improve.

I hope you liked this journey through “The Clean Coder”, see you next time !
